Re: vignettes vs. long scenes in fic

[intrigueing]

Because most fanfic writers aren't professionals, and they can do a good job writing scenes and dialogue and come up with plots, but constructing a full compact novella is fucking exhausting. It's kind of the difference between writing several very good essays on the same topic in high school, versus writing a 20 page research paper in college.

Re: vignettes vs. long scenes in fic

[intrigueing]

Yeah, but it's more difficult to coherently write long full integrated scenes that flow into one another rather than broken up shorter scenes, because you don't have to think about how to progress it from this point to this point to this point while covering everything you want to cover. Especially in fanfic, which is based off an existing canon that the reader can kind of fill in the blanks themselves and which the writer might not want to fuck with or rehash, in some cases. It's also a style that's hard to do in original writing with no existing canon context, so it happens more often in fanfic because the writers can get away with it.

Of course, doing it coherently is not necessarily the same thing as doing it well, I suppose. Just that it's generally easier for fic writers to get the ball rolling on their plot bunnies with shorter broken-up scenes than with long unbroken scenes. That's by no means universal though.
